In many areas of the country, homeowners are feeling the squeeze as property taxes climb at a faster clip than inflation.

In 2025, the average owner of a single-family home, with an estimated value of $494,231, paid $4,427 in taxes, according to a recent study from ATTOM, a provider of property data. That's a 3% increase from the previous year, compared with a 2.7% inflation rate in 2025.
